toss it. you have 4 outs to a rivered T (the Th may even be tainted) and even then it may be a split pot. even if you hit your over card you may be reverse dominated.

Well, a flop bet from you would most likely get raised, and all you've got is a gutshot and two overcards, neither of which are necessarily any good if they hit on the turn. There are a lot of opponents, a few who semi-coldcalled preflop, so I think a check on the flop was good. Betting may clean out some of your outs, but an A or K on the turn or river will often make a straight for someone, so all you've got is a non-heart 10 for the nuts.
I would fold the turn and believe that I played AK well in this hand. |

Re: My interesting AKo hand: June 12
take your free card on the flop and fold the turn. you dont have the right odds to call and some of your outs may only get a split pot. the other thing to consider is that the turn might get capped meaning you will have to call another 2 bets when the action comes back around.
